This is me for the last two days. I have been out of the educational field for 10 years and I am completely overwhelmed. I know I need to take it nice and slow, but my kids want to start right away and full force. What happened to kids wanting summer to last forever? Not mine, no way. I just received most of my materials this weekend, so I am busy writing lesson plans for the week. I am a little rusty, and I'm trying to get familiar with the curriculums I've chosen. I finished with Annie's week of plans, and I'm halfway into Seth's. I guess my freedom and blogging will have to be on hold for a while. I'm excited, nervous, happy, and sad all at the same time. I guess these are all normal feelings. I feel so blessed to be with my children, but at the same time this is a huge adjustment for me. I wish I didn't have my house on the market at the same time, but if I can handle all this...what else can I do with God's help?

You sound much the way my dear friend Mary sounded about three years ago when her two girls decided they very much wanted to be home schooled. She was overwhelmed at first, but they have done well and are really enjoying it. I know you'll get right back into the swing of it Susie. I begin to think that the Lord is calling all of us to sort of put blogging in its proper place. I may be wrong, but so many women have said that they are finding less time for it. Maybe we just needed to get some balance.Goodness...I'm off on a tangent. I pray this will be a blessed time for you and the kids. And that while you're busy with school the Lord will just go ahead and send a buyer for your house.

You can do it and you will conqure the world. All of you!! Just remember to find humor in your day. Laugh as hard as you can. That should be part of the school day. "It's belly laugh time!!!" Remember teachers take breaks to. Good luck and can't wait to hear how the first day turns out.
